Malaysia Plans Legal Action Against "Meta"

Malaysian authorities confirmed today, Friday, that they will take legal action against "Meta Platforms," the owner of "Facebook," for failing to remove "undesirable" posts. The Communications and Multimedia Commission stated that "Facebook has recently been afflicted by a significant amount of undesirable content related to race, religion, property, defamation, impersonation, online gambling, and fraudulent advertising. Meta has not taken sufficient action despite repeated requests, and it is now necessary to take legal action to enhance accountability in internet security and protect consumers." "Meta" has not yet responded to a request for comment.
